Lord, am I drowning in books. Piles of the stuff just keep rising all over increasingly constricted floor space, and I mean floor space, of which the attic-library has run out of, very nearly. I have yet to find the hours to classify the piled-up books and select which ones go into glass-enclosed or open shelves. This would mean replacing quite a number already in a snug fit, and which should then go into boxes for pushing into the storage room.

CHICAGO – Imagine a score-strong company of Filipino poets and writers conjoining together, or dispersing among hundreds of American writers and academics of all stripes, shapes, and sizes. Place them in a grand venue such as the Palmer House Hilton in downtown Chicago, where the annual AWP conference finds the participants crisscrossing the magnificent lobby at all hours, only occasionally noticing the altitudinous ceiling gilded with awesome frescoes.

Part of the satisfaction in running a regular column, other than having a potential bully pulpit, is the opportunity to render humanitarian service, as when it welcomes the posting of announcements, congratulations, credits for a change in hairstyle, or, well, rendering assistance to couples seeking a comeback after years of estrangement. Eh? Oops, got carried away there. Valentine’s Day draws near.
